Hello, I just run into the same problem as Elmar Weber wrote in

tml
I have followed the lfs cvs version 20011105 and installed every software
exactly as it said in the text and when I chrooted to $LFS and are about to
configure glibc it fail with this message:

configure: error: GNU libc must be compiled using GNU CC
And this is the output when I type file $LFS/usr/bin/gcc from my host os
(slackware 8):
/usr/bin/gcc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically
linked, not stripped
It was compiles with gcc 2.95.3 and statically linked against slackware's
glibc 2.2.3. I really don't want to try the solution that worked for Elmar,
(start allover again) cause compiling everything takes 2 days on my slow
computer :( One thing may be worth to mention, I switched to kernel 2.4.14
and changed the default architecture of the kernel from i686 to i586 it that
should make any mather? Oh, I just discovered that there is a config.log in
my glibc-build directory, it sais:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

I found cpp0 in $LFS/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/cpp0 so I made
a symbolic link from usr/bin/cpp0 to it and now ot works, was that symlink
missing from the lfs instructions or is it the wrong way to do it?
